CSI Creator Anthony Zuiker to Wife: I Want Our Kids, Too!

Anthony Zuiker, the creator of "CSI," has fired back at his wife for trying to jack their kids in their divorce.

Anthony just filed legal papers, responding to wife Jennifer's petition for divorce. Anthony is asking for joint legal and physical custody of their 3 boys, which puts him squarely at odds with his wife, who is asking for sole custody.

And it's even more complicated because we've learned Jennifer spends a lot of time in England.

A lot of loot is at stake. CSI has generated more than $6 billion, and there's no prenup. The couple, who married in 1999, will almost certainly divide the "CSI" money 50/50, because there was no prenup.

Anthony and Jennifer are not skimping on lawyers. She's being repped by mega-divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope. And now Zuiker has disso-queen Laura Wasser.
